package main import "fmt" func main() { var message string message = "Hello World." fmt.Println(message) }

lets start with the simple program in which we will going to declare variable call message with string type and we will assign value to var message and we will print that variable if you go variable var which is assigned to message thats hello world . wow! you successfully executed !!

so you got ideas on variable lets declare more than one variable and print values to better understanding

package main import "fmt" func main() { var message string var a, b, c int a = 1 message = "Hello World!" fmt.Println(message, a, b, c) }

in this program we are init many variable at once if your beginner to golang its better to try out !!

package main import "fmt" func main() { var message = "Hello World!" var a, b, c int = 1, 2, 3 fmt.Println(message, a, b, c) }

in this program we are declaring variable without declaring variable type lets check it out:-

package main import "fmt" func main() { var message = "Hello World!" var a, b, c = 1, 2, 3 fmt.Println(message, a, b, c) }

in the above program we just given same value for varible lets try some diff values var a, b, c = 1, false, 3 like this try out this program for better understandending

package main import "fmt" func main() { var message = "Hello World!" var a, b, c = 1, false, 3 fmt.Println(message, a, b, c) }

we are lazy programmer !! haha !!

try out short variable declarations so in this we don't need to use the var syntax or its type all right !! := use this short variable declaration method but condition is you can only do this inside a func

package main import "fmt" func main() { // you can only do this inside a func message := "Hello World!" a, b, c := 1, false, 3 d := 4 e := true fmt.Println(message, a, b, c, d, e) }

look like now everyone is doing good !! with variable

in this program we are declaring folllowing variable with respective values

a - this is stored in the variable a b - stored in b c - stored in c d - stored in d

declare a,b,c,d variable outside of main function with var syntax

e - 42 f - 43 g - stored in g h - stored in h i - stored in i j - 44.7 k - true l - false m - 109 n - n o - o

and declare above variable with short variable declaration and print variable

package main import "fmt" var a = "this is stored in the variable a" // package scope var b, c string = "stored in b", "stored in c" // package scope var d string // package scope func main() { d = "stored in d" // declaration above; assignment here; package scope var e = 42 // function scope - subsequent variables have func scope: f := 43 g := "stored in g" h, i := "stored in h", "stored in i" j, k, l, m := 44.7, true, false, 'm' // single quotes n := "n" // double quotes o := `o` // back ticks fmt.Println("a - ", a) fmt.Println("b - ", b) fmt.Println("c - ", c) fmt.Println("d - ", d) fmt.Println("e - ", e) fmt.Println("f - ", f) fmt.Println("g - ", g) fmt.Println("h - ", h) fmt.Println("i - ", i) fmt.Println("j - ", j) fmt.Println("k - ", k) fmt.Println("l - ", l) fmt.Println("m - ", m) fmt.Println("n - ", n) fmt.Println("o - ", o) }

if you want to do more hands on try out following programms

package main import "fmt" var name = "sangam" func main() { fmt.Println("Hello ", name) }

another way#

package main import "fmt" func main() { name := "sangam" fmt.Println("Hello ", name) }

another way#

package main import "fmt" func main() { name := `sangam` // back-ticks work like double-quotes fmt.Println("Hello ", name) }
